Description

This trail leads to a high alpine lake with spectacular views where artificial fly and lure fishing is permitted. Also, you can access the N. Canadian Yurt, Canadian Trail, Hidden Valley Trail, and Clear Lake Trail.

Nestled in a stunning, glacially carved valley, Kelly Lake Trail has it all - including some of the best wildflowers you've ever seen...
